网络民族志基于研究者身份的伦理关系

民族志一度是研究者专业生产他者知识的手段与途径,但在反思传统与顺应新潮流——互联网的基础上,我们发现,一直以来研究者自己也是民族志的研究对象,互联网兴起之后,这种倾向更加明显.网络时代的到来促使研究者的身份发生了显著转变:由自己是主体,被研究者是他者,转变为双方是平等的交互主体;由认识主体转变为实践主体;由主动的实践者转变为静默的潜伏者等.网络民族志中研究者身份的变化,为新的研究伦理关系的出现开辟了道路,即研究者与被研究者既是学术研究的手段,也是学术研究的目的.     

汉代乐舞中的人本主义精神探析

在我国长达3000多年的乐舞文化中,汉代乐舞以其张扬阔大、发扬蹈厉的强悍风格独树一帜,堪称中华乐舞史的最强音.造就强汉之音的精神底座,是在秦汉代际蓬勃兴起的人本主义精神.从汉武时期乐制的更作和乐府制度的确立,到盛行两汉的乐舞形制,再到志尽于诗、音尽于曲的乐舞歌诗和意气相尚、悲歌厉响的审美取向,无不反映并凸显着人本主义精神的光辉.在我国当下民族复兴的进程中,人本主义精神同样应成为时代诉求.     

Abusive Supervision and Well-Being of Filipino Migrant Workers in Macau: Consequences for Self-Esteem and Heritage Culture Detachment

Abusive supervision in the workplace has been shown to have important direct consequence in work and work relationship, and also indirect consequences to workers’ well-being and relationships outside work. Consequences of abusive supervision have not been studied among migrant workers whose status in the host country of work is dependent on maintaining the work contract. This study investigates abusive supervision in 247 Filipino migrant workers in Macau, who hold temporary work contracts and work visas to engage in various low-skilled work (e.g., domestic helper, security guard, etc.). The study tests a model representing the indirect consequences of abusive supervision on the self-esteem and acculturation orientation of migrant workers, in particular, on the tendency to reject their heritage culture in their attempt to acculturate in the host country. Mediation analysis indicated that abusive supervisory perceptions led to lower self-esteem (b = ?.19), which in turn relates to tendency to reject their heritage culture as part of acculturation (b = ?.45) [indirect effect = .08, 90 % CI .04, .15]. The rejection of heritage culture is interpreted as a coping response to the negative indirect consequences of abusive supervision perceptions that may be partly attributed to being a migrant Filipino worker. The results are discussed in terms of how the acculturation of migrant workers reflects aspects of their well-being that may be adversely affected by vocational-related stress in the host country.     

试述新中国成立初期中共干部的专业教育

新中国成立初期,中国共产党专业干部队伍基础十分薄弱,不仅数量少,总体质量也不高,成为国家发展建设中的巨大瓶颈。为此,中国共产党迅速采取措施,大力加强专业干部队伍建设,其重要举措之一是广泛开展干部的专业教育。这一时期干部专业教育主要通过三种途径:创办专业干部学校、紧紧依托高等院校、举办各种专业讲座和短期培训班等。由于党和人民政府高度重视、精心组织和大力推动,干部专业教育取得了显著成效,不仅迅速提高了广大干部的专业水平和业务能力,满足国家发展建设的需要,并且对中共干部队伍建设产生了深远影响。     

西方经济学话语特征与中国经济学话语体系建设

长期以来,经济学理论总是笼罩在西方中心论的西方主流经济学话语体系下,既不能解释真实世界变化,也无力为乏力的世界经济开出药方。中国改革开放40多年以来,经济增长取得举世瞩目的成就,而西方经济学的理论却无法解释中国经济发展的奇迹。总结中国改革开放伟大成功的经验,就在于不受西方经济学理论的影响,始终坚定不移地走好中国特色社会主义道路。中国实践的成功已经打破了西方中心论的"神话",但尚未形成一套系统的、完整的、严谨的中国经济学理论体系。因此,构建中国经济学话语体系是系统化总结中国发展经验的内在理论诉求。基于此,本文在厘清西方经济学话语特征基础上,提出中国经济学话语体系建设要突出国家主体性、阐释好中国道路、服务于国家战略。     

Constrained vs unconstrained labor supply: the economics of dual job holding

This paper develops a unified model of dual and unitary job holding based on a Stone-Geary utility function. The model incorporates both constrained and unconstrained labor supply. Panel data methods are adapted to accommodate unobserved heterogeneity and multinomial selection into six mutually exclusive labor supply regimes. We estimate the wage and income elasticities arising from selection and unobserved heterogeneity as well as from the Stone-Geary Slutsky equations. The labor supply model is estimated with data from the British Household Panel Survey 1991–2008. Among dual job holders, our study finds that the Stone-Geary income and wage elasticities are much larger for labor supply to the second job compared with the main job. When the effects of selection and unobserved heterogeneity are taken account of, the magnitudes of these elasticities on the second job tend to be significantly reduced.     

The intergenerational education spillovers of pension reform in China

Economic theory establishes that pension privatization weakens the link between old and young and so reduces the incentive to invest in public education in an economy with lower return rate of capital than growth rate of wage. However, empirical studies of the link change are few. In this paper, we investigate the effects of pension privatization and the central government’s subsidy to individual accounts on public education spending in a three-period overlapping generation model. And then, we take contemporary pension reforms in a number of Chinese provinces as offering natural experiment conditions. Using a difference-in-difference framework and 282 municipal districts panel data over years 1998–2009, we test the pension-education theoretical link change. Both our theoretical and empirical results confirm that pension privatization is adversely associated with local public spending on education in China. Private pension subsidies, moreover, magnify this effect. Our study supports the theoretical assertion and selective empirical findings of a negative intergenerational effect of pension privatization.     

A majorization comparison of apportionment methods in proportional representation

From the inception of the proportional representation movement it has been an issue whether larger parties are favored at the expense of smaller parties in one apportionment of seats as compared to another apportionment. A number of methods have been proposed and are used in countries with a proportional representation system. These apportionment methods exhibit a regularity of order, as discussed in the present paper, that captures the preferential treatment of larger versus smaller parties. This order, namely majorization, permits the comparison of seat allocations in two apportionments. For divisor methods, we show that one method is majorized by another method if and only if their signpost ratios are increasing. This criterion is satisfied for the divisor methods with power-mean rounding, and for the divisor methods with stationary rounding. Majorization places the five traditional apportionment methods in the order as they are known to favor larger parties over smaller parties: Adams, Dean, Hill, Webster, and Jefferson.
